NEW STUFF, OLD STUFF, ANY STUFF. POST WHAT YOU LIKE, ASK WHAT YOU LIKE, LEAVE MSGS HERE. PLEASE BE CIVIL. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BITCH, DO IT WITH SOME CLASS. IF YOU LIKE WHAT'S WRITTEN,COMMENT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, COMMENT. ALL I ASK IS PROOF.
NO ,sadly it don't BUT knowing that is working towards a solution.
When people post on social media, "i am depressed,i wanna die,I am to lazy to live,i hate earth,i hate you ,i hate etc, " and actually mean it,there is a ISP address behind that post,and someone needs to go knocking on the door and say,
" Hey kid,let's sit down and talk about what is bothering you"
WHAT is wrong with that idea?
Or if a fed knocks on the door and a kid comes to the door with a gun and is violent,they obviously need to be put away and dealt with instead of medicated.
You want counselors instead of cops sent to a crime scene,but that is dangerous. Why not send those counselors to talk to folks behind internet post about depression and dying and killing?
Have you not noticed the increase in these violent events since video games got more lifelike? Since social media has become mainstream?
We didn't have school shootings in 1960 like we do now. For alot of reasons.
1,kids didn't post something online and some freak overseas tells them they should go ahead and die or kill and then die. You don't seem to understand,these folks are warped.it don't take much to steer them off on the wrong path.
Yep 1 threat neutralized.
No parole, no therapy, nothing. DEAD and done.
I am still wanting to know if he was here illegally or not.
I did see on the tv that 1 witness came forward saying the fellow was mad he didn't graduate high school. Well gee,I wonder who's fault that was? School is paid for by the taxpayers,not coming out of his pocket. Even if he failed a grade, keep going until you get it.
GOOD ADVICE PHART. IS THAT GOOD FOR LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? HOW ABOUT FOR REGULAR CITIZENS?
Ageed, And also the fact you can go to your local store and buy a fuckin assault riffle on a whim. There is a place for them and that's war.... I'm sure nothing will be learnt from this tragic event
A recent poll of voters published on May 24 has suggested that if Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis were to be the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election, he would lose if running against current Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Harvard-Harris Poll took the opinions of 1,963 registered voters on May 18 and 19 and assessed their perspective on the current state of the nation, its economy and leadership, as well as pressing for opinions on the likely outcome of various hypothetical scenarios in the 2024 race for the White House.
The assault at Robb Elementary School in the heavily Latino town of Uvalde was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. school since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.
TELL ME, FROM WHERE ARE YOUR ANCESTORS?
How dare I? quite easyly. Because liberals like you have allowed 1000's of aliens into the country. And it is only a matter of time before some commit crimes like this.
So hell yes I dare.
How dare you question it.You and folks like you are part of the reason we have these fucking nut cases running around killing.YOU WONT LOCK UP YOUR NUTCASES
It had to be a Salvador man
Our governor wants to not let them fuckers from crossing the border. That sloppy legs joe won't let happen..
YES, JAMIE, IT WAS A SALVADOR MAN. I’M GLAD YOU NOTICED WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN THIS TRAGEDY. HOWEVER, JAMIE, HIS NAME IS SALVADOR, NOT FROM SALVADOR.
What a weak brain YOu would need to have to believe the stuff you just typed!
You look at a male bovine, "cow", it has a penis and testicals. You look at a male horse, a stud ,it has a penis and testicals. You look at a male human being it has a penis and testicals. You look at a male dog,well by now you SHOULD see the point.
How can you not look in your pants and NOT see what you are in PLAIN SITE??????
Now the issue comes in when others don't explain simple physical anatomy with their kids.
It is not in the mind,it is obvious on the body.
Why is it when folks break into ancient tombs and find mummys that they are only male or female?
Phart, check the definition of a hermaphrodite or intersex.
I am familiar with those 2 terms
And I can tell how. I live in farm country and it is normal for famers both who raise goats, cows, to bring in a new male sometimes. This is to help prevent Interbreeding. Which causes physical alterations in the off springs make up.
Here is a google search result that may help clarify what I am saying.
only registered users can see external links
so to sit there and say the results of inbreeding are NORMAL and should be accepted is kinda sick in the head.
Phart a hermaphrodite or intersexual is a person that, by a mistake in nature, they are born with male and female genitalia. It’s nothing to do with inbreeding
"Why is it when folks break into ancient tombs and find mummys that they are only male or female?"
Are you asking that question or are you referring to phart asking it previously?
There is at least one mummy that looked like a woman from the outside, but contained the remains of a man. But there is history enough of men dressing like women and women dressing like men. It's not some new woke invention.

Off course sex changes were not possible back then, because they didn't have hormone therapy and if they ever tried surgery, the patient would just bleed out. The closest they had in history were eunuchs, men who had been castrated. Throughout history, castration often served a specific social function, for example eunuchs were sometimes used as harem servants.
Castrato: The voice is produced by castration of the singer before puberty, or it occurs in one who, due to an endocrinological condition, never reaches sexual maturity.
sex changes and etc may not be "new" but it sure does not need to be getting a spot light and becoming a trend setting thing like it is now .Everyone wants to be weird ,different, deny what they are? For what? A life of confusion? A life being disowned by family and friend's because of the embarrassment of them?
Accept what and who you are and use that effort towards something useful.If you have a dick and don't want to fuck with it,DON"T. cutting it off just makes you have to sit and pee.What a hinderance that would be.
Aren't you always defending people's own responsibility?
If people want to dress like the other sex or try sex with there own sex, just because it's trendy, it's their own responsibility if they come to regret it.
I start with the principle of freedom; everything is allowed, unless it hurts other people.
You start with the principle of your freedom; you are allowed to do anything you desire and everyone else should just be limited to what you think is acceptable.
OK, 1 question, because I do see your point
WHAT ELSE WAS IN THAT BILL?
"I think vilifying one sector doesn't actually address the inflation issues that my constituents are facing," Murphy told ABC News. "The possible net effect of this bill will be to actually strangle production at a time when we are desperate for additional production."
"It just, you know, seems like we're treating oil and gas like Big Tobacco, and sometimes they're unjustly targeted. And that's something that's really concerning," Gonzalez said. He ultimately supported the bill.
I can't find a bill number to actually be able to read it to see what was in it.
That link confirms everything I've been telling you all along.
"Most of the increase has come from crude oil prices going up, and that's because world demand has been coming back quite strongly from the pandemic and supply hasn't caught up," he said. "Even before Russia attacked Ukraine, we were seeing the production of oil lagging. Producers in the United States are reporting they're having a hard time getting workers to come back to the oil fields. They're having supply chain problems with parts and equipment."
"Oil companies are benefiting from the spike in prices at the pump. In the first 3 months of the year, Chevron's profits rose 33% over the last three months of 2021. Shell's profits jumped 42% while Conoco Philips is up 43%, and British Petroleum's profits soared 51%."
What was in that bill against Big Oil's price gouging on gas is for Republican supporters to find out and defend the Republican's position.

Introduced in House (05/06/2022)
Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act
This bill prohibits any person from selling, during a proclaimed energy emergency, a consumer fuel at a price that (1) is unconscionably excessive, and (2) indicates that the seller is exploiting the emergency to increase prices unreasonably. The President may issue a proclamation of such an emergency that specifies the consumer fuel and geographic area covered and how long the proclamation applies.
The bill provides for enforcement of these provisions by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. Civil penalties collected by the commission through such enforcement must be used to provide assistance under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
Australia is electing a new prime minister. The incumbent is a Mr Morrison of the labor party. His opponent is a Mr Albanese.
Mr. Morrison campaigned largely on his government’s record of keeping unemployment low and steering the economy through the pandemic relatively unscathed. Mr. Albanese has promised to do more for members of the “caring economy,” including child care workers, educators and nursing home workers.
The two have clashed over how to address Australia’s cost-of-living crisis, with Mr. Albanese backing an increase in the minimum wage of about one Australian dollar an hour, in line with inflation. Mr. Morrison called the proposal irresponsible and said it would hurt small businesses.
Well of course you like Mr. Albanese, that dollar a hour aint coming out of YOUR pocket like it would be from the citizens of Australia.
That dollar a hour will do the same thing it does here.Makes a hamburger go up a doller,makes food go up.and etc.
To be 70 years old,you sure have been under a rock to not see how it REALLY works in the REAL world.
That dollar a hour raise will pass right along to the end user or recipient of any item or service.
Phart, where, in your 50+ years, have you been? My first job as a pimply kid was at a Burger King. I made $0.92 an hour. At the time, a whopper, fries, and a Coke cost $0.90. For a buck you could get a full meal and get change. Now, a hamburger dealer gets $15/hour. That’s about 17 times more to hire an employee, yet, a full, equal, meal at BK is about $8+. That’s only about 9 times more expensive. What happened? Did BK decide to be nice and leave some money on the table? Phart, it’s the way the business/ labor relation works. Even you have wanted and got a raise. And your employer didn’t run an upped prices to the tune of your raise. Charlie and I are retired. We don’t bank on what Uncle Sam provides monthly, but, we still get a cost of living increase. Prices ALWAYS go up for most things so, people, need raises to keep up. As it is, a worker in 1980 could afford much more than what that worker would get now. That is one of main reasons for more women joining the work force. They are needed to fill that gap. So, Phart, instead of complaining about wage increases where you have the cart before the horse, say to yourself, “Equality is gotten with pennies at a time.” and be glad the little people just got higher heels.
But a minimum wage increase does the little guy nothing he ends up spending that increase plus some to survive because every thing went up it’s a viscous cycle my labor rate in 2019 was 30 an hour it’s now 60 an hour and about to go up again
Common, look around a bit. It's not like it has never ever been tried before.
It's true, costs go up for the employer, but not 1:1. You are talking nonsense.
Even in your country, there are areas where there is a higher minimum wage.
There is less poverty there and the economy is doing better there.
It's easy to see the world as you want to understand it, with blinders on.
You are saying that businesses are predicting they’ll have to give a raise so they up their prices to screw their employees. You are advocating for no raises. That becomes a form of slavery.
Yea, racism, videogame violence are big motivators.
I am hoping the media will talk more about the mental status of these people than in the past so the roots of the problem will be clearly visable.
THere has to be clues people are missing that if made public would help alot to curb these tragic situations.
Someone had to know something but kept quite --------------------------------------- added after 4 hours
Remember back in the late 60s Charlie mansion attempted to start a race war by killing rich white people and trying to make it look like blacks did the deed another man that would not sit on his hands and do nothing when groups up rise they need stomped back in place --------------------------------------- added after 3 minutes
But no we just sit on our hands and and give them praise for voicing their opinions and make street thugs out to be heroes
By the late 1960s, Black Power came to represent the demand for more immediate violent action to counter American white supremacy. Most of these ideas were influenced by Malcolm X's criticism of Martin Luther King Jr.'s peaceful protest methods. The 1965 assassination of Malcolm X, coupled with the urban riots of 1964 and 1965, ignited the movement.[8] New organizations that supported Black Power philosophies ranging from the adoption of socialism by certain sects of the movement to black nationalism, including the Black Panther Party (BPP), grew to prominence.[7]
It’s funny how the mass killings of blacks is justified due to THEM not knowing their place but when THEY do it, it’s an uprising
Some are more susceptible to propaganda than others and a sharpened mind
is pretty much immune to it. Sure, this guy must have an especially weak brain,
to absorb this amount of crap. But don't think he is special for his thoughts,
he's just special for acting on them like that.
First they take away all critical thinking skills from children, by calling that CRT.
Than they can fill the brain with nonsense, because it has no immunity to it.
Then you have stupid but obedient workers and a right-wing army to your disposal.
It's not a problem that is makes some people crazy enough to kill a bunch of people, that's just helpful to their cause of divide and conquer.
Well the lack of positive change to the immigration problem at our border does alot to enforce the so called theory of voter replacement.
I challenge these hypocrites in our government that discredit that possibility to prove otherwise. The evidence is overwhelming. BUT it does not justify murder or physical harm to anyone.It is sad that some stoop to that level.
Grab the illegals, put them on a bus and ship the hell out of here is a peaceful ,non violent solution. and finish the wall ,both physically and legally with laws and preventive measures.
Why does illegals equate to voter replacement? This is not a political question. Walk me through the process. --------------------------------------- added after 93 seconds
Also, border walls of any kind don’t work. There’s always a way to get through. Don’t you think interdiction is better?
Uh, haven't you heard the word amnesty lately in the news? Something given to illegal immigrants?
And besides,if they go thru the process to be legal,who do you think they will vote for? A republican that expects them to work or a democrat that let them in free and wants to give them health care and such?
The large physical wall may not be perfect, but it is the opposite of a welcome mat for the illegals. Climb over it and you should be sent back where you came from tired.
The legal wall,as in laws and enforcement of immigration is a more functional wall as far as actually getting rid of the illegal aliens.
If your idea was true, the Democrats could now just easily LEGALIZE millions of immigrants and you couldn't put them on a bus and ship the hell out. They cannot vote until they are legal. You did know that right? (..waiting for the next conspiracy..)
Ananas, it’s mind-boggling how uninformed our citizens are. They get 5% of the story or subject and the rest is all mental masturbation by these paragons of knowledge
You say that sarcastically but you expect us to do it everyday like it is easy peezy.
Racism is a terriable thing.But it will never go away unless everyone does something positive about it.And stop making excuses for 1 side being able to use a word that the other side gets sued over.
The simple N word is a classic example of why racism won't go away. If I were to say the N word in a conversation with someone else,and someone was offended, I would be on the news, I would be sued,I would be dragged under the bus.
BUT at the very same time,I said it in a conversation,somoene could be blasting the radio playing rap musice with the N word,Bitch ,hoe and so on blarring out for all to hear and "oh thats ok,that is their culture ,their heritage" or what the fuck ever.a double standard.
The only real problem is that this country has huge amounts of racists. Most just hide their racist thoughts but many act on it AND WITH GUNS they can do it a lot easier.
I don’t hide my thoughts i voice them openly maybe that’s why I haven’t snapped and used any of my thousands of guns other than at the shooting range I shoot elbow to elbow with the Pennsylvania state police in fact when I pull in they joke here come old hand cannon Graffy I work on their police cruisers I got the contract several years ago
Ok, how do the citizens of the US defend their rights without weapons?
How do they defend their homes without weapons?
How do they defend themselves without weapons?
You anti gun,anti this and that folks always want to ban something,as a knee jurk reaction but you never present a viable replacement.
You expect handicapped people to depend on a cell phone for protection if they are alone at home or on the street.You expect a mother sitting at home with 3 kids to not be able to do anything but swing a ball bat at a crook.
You used to want equality, now you want equity instead.Why should we as citizens not be able to protect life and home.
Give me a green new deal style draft of this "system".
Ok, how do the citizens of the US defend their rights without weapons?
THE SAME WAY THEY DO NOW. THEY RELY ON OUR MILITARY, POLICE, AND LEGISLATORS.
How do they defend their homes without weapons?
THEY USE LOCKS, ALARMS, SURVEILLANCE, AND POLICE JUST LIKE THEY DO NOW. I DON’T KNOW OF ANYONE THAT GOES AROUND TOTTING A GUN AROUND THEIR HOME.
How do they defend themselves without weapons?
THE SAME WAY THEY DO SO NOW. THEY USE FISTS, THEY RUN AWAY, THEY CALL THE COPS.
You anti gun,anti this and that folks always want to ban something,as a knee jurk reaction but you never present a viable replacement.
KNEE JERK REACTION? THERE’S HUNDREDS OF GUN DEATHS PER YEAR IN THE US. THIS HAS BEEN EVERY YEAR SINCE I WAS BORN AND BEFORE THAT EVEN. HOW MANY MORE GUN DEATHS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU STOP SAYING, “ITS A KNEE JURK REACTION.”?
You expect handicapped people to depend on a cell phone for protection if they are alone at home or on the street.
YES, I DO. DO YOU EXPECT A HANDICAPPED PERSON TO CARRY IN THEIR WEEL CHAIR OR CRUTCHES?
You expect a mother sitting at home with 3 kids to not be able to do anything but swing a ball bat at a crook.
IT GOES BACK TO THE OTHER QUESTION. SHE USES DOOR LOCKS, ALARMS, SURVEILLANCE AND THE POLICE.
You used to want equality, now you want equity instead.Why should we as citizens not be able to protect life and home. EQUALITY MEANS “EQUAL FOR ALL”. NO GUNS MEANS NO GUNS FOR ANYONE.
Give me a green new deal style draft of this "system".
THE DRAFT IS SIMPLE. ENACT LAWS LIKE THE UK HAS. HUNTING RIFFLES ARE ALLOWED BUT WITH A PERMIT. NO MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS ALLOWED. NO HANDGUNS ALLOWED.
we fought the UK for our independence from their dumbass style of living.
Uh and that might be part of the reason for the 2d, so we don't have to live under that type of draconian rule ever again. we only see what the media wants us to see from over there. I am sure there are plenty of terrible crimes that happen with knives and such.The criminal element did not just evaporate when guns were outlawed.
This is a honest question, no harm intended.
You say we should depend on police for protection.
If you are in a situation at home, you fall, or a robber knocks down your door, or a kitchen fire, what is the average response time for emergency personnel or law enforcement to arrive to be of any help?
So many of us do not live with in walking distance of a fire station,a ambulance bay , or a police station.
Here, The average response time now for a deputy,a LONE deputy mind you at 2 am is about 18 minutes. Sometimes 8 to 9 minutes during daylight hours.
Fire response,again,enough personal for a interior attack or rescue operation, 12 minutes at the very best,that is with 2 paid folks already within 200 feet of the truck during daylight hours.
You can't expect the population to rely on these resources as the number of robberys,assaults and so forth would sky rocket. The crooks would KNOW the law abiding citizens would be unarmed and unable to do anything but Run. Is RUN the only thing democrats know to do? RUN from problems? Run From Danger? Run from responsibility? Sheesh.
You said, or I said first,
"You expect handicapped people to depend on a cell phone for protection if they are alone at home or on the street.
YES, I DO. DO YOU EXPECT A HANDICAPPED PERSON TO CARRY IN THEIR WEEL CHAIR OR CRUTCHES?"
What are you smoking? All handicapped people are not in wheel chairs or on crutches.They may not be able to run,they may just have 1 good arm and can't swing, you assume help is just around the corner when in reality it can be 20 miles up the road.And no you can't hold out until help gets there.What are you going to do with a crook holding a gun on you ,threatening you? Sing 100 bottles of beer on the wall?
Sheesh,you must lead a charmed life.
People in the UK have little to no protection and their "cops" carry a stick and a radio. Not much help
Phart most times there's no why. Murderers murder. Good they deadened him though.
SHERRYANN, THANK YOU FOR INSIGHT.
thank you for laying it out. MENTAL ISSUES PEOPLE!

The mass murderer's manifesto was largely about 'The Great Replacement' theory?
It was almost literally copied from the speech and works of TUCKER CARLSON.
His mental state was; indoctrinated with hate-filled right-wing propaganda.
Tucker has blood on his hands.
is pretty much immune to it. Sure, this guy must have an especially weak brain,
to absorb this amount of crap. But don't think he is special for his thoughts,
he's just special for acting on them like that.
First they take away all critical thinking skills from children, by calling that CRT.
Than they can fill the brain with nonsense, because it has no immunity to it.
Then you have stupid but obedient workers and a right-wing army to your disposal.
It's not a problem that is makes some people crazy enough to kill a bunch of people, that's just helpful to their cause of divide and conquer.
I challenge these hypocrites in our government that discredit that possibility to prove otherwise. The evidence is overwhelming. BUT it does not justify murder or physical harm to anyone.It is sad that some stoop to that level.
Grab the illegals, put them on a bus and ship the hell out of here is a peaceful ,non violent solution. and finish the wall ,both physically and legally with laws and preventive measures.

Also, border walls of any kind don’t work. There’s always a way to get through. Don’t you think interdiction is better?
And besides,if they go thru the process to be legal,who do you think they will vote for? A republican that expects them to work or a democrat that let them in free and wants to give them health care and such?
The large physical wall may not be perfect, but it is the opposite of a welcome mat for the illegals. Climb over it and you should be sent back where you came from tired.
The legal wall,as in laws and enforcement of immigration is a more functional wall as far as actually getting rid of the illegal aliens.
Racism is a terriable thing.But it will never go away unless everyone does something positive about it.And stop making excuses for 1 side being able to use a word that the other side gets sued over.
The simple N word is a classic example of why racism won't go away. If I were to say the N word in a conversation with someone else,and someone was offended, I would be on the news, I would be sued,I would be dragged under the bus.
BUT at the very same time,I said it in a conversation,somoene could be blasting the radio playing rap musice with the N word,Bitch ,hoe and so on blarring out for all to hear and "oh thats ok,that is their culture ,their heritage" or what the fuck ever.a double standard.
How do they defend their homes without weapons?
How do they defend themselves without weapons?
You anti gun,anti this and that folks always want to ban something,as a knee jurk reaction but you never present a viable replacement.
You expect handicapped people to depend on a cell phone for protection if they are alone at home or on the street.You expect a mother sitting at home with 3 kids to not be able to do anything but swing a ball bat at a crook.
You used to want equality, now you want equity instead.Why should we as citizens not be able to protect life and home.
Give me a green new deal style draft of this "system".
THE SAME WAY THEY DO NOW. THEY RELY ON OUR MILITARY, POLICE, AND LEGISLATORS.
How do they defend their homes without weapons?
THEY USE LOCKS, ALARMS, SURVEILLANCE, AND POLICE JUST LIKE THEY DO NOW. I DON’T KNOW OF ANYONE THAT GOES AROUND TOTTING A GUN AROUND THEIR HOME.
How do they defend themselves without weapons?
THE SAME WAY THEY DO SO NOW. THEY USE FISTS, THEY RUN AWAY, THEY CALL THE COPS.
You anti gun,anti this and that folks always want to ban something,as a knee jurk reaction but you never present a viable replacement.
KNEE JERK REACTION? THERE’S HUNDREDS OF GUN DEATHS PER YEAR IN THE US. THIS HAS BEEN EVERY YEAR SINCE I WAS BORN AND BEFORE THAT EVEN. HOW MANY MORE GUN DEATHS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU STOP SAYING, “ITS A KNEE JURK REACTION.”?
You expect handicapped people to depend on a cell phone for protection if they are alone at home or on the street.
YES, I DO. DO YOU EXPECT A HANDICAPPED PERSON TO CARRY IN THEIR WEEL CHAIR OR CRUTCHES?
You expect a mother sitting at home with 3 kids to not be able to do anything but swing a ball bat at a crook.
IT GOES BACK TO THE OTHER QUESTION. SHE USES DOOR LOCKS, ALARMS, SURVEILLANCE AND THE POLICE.
You used to want equality, now you want equity instead.Why should we as citizens not be able to protect life and home. EQUALITY MEANS “EQUAL FOR ALL”. NO GUNS MEANS NO GUNS FOR ANYONE.
Give me a green new deal style draft of this "system".
THE DRAFT IS SIMPLE. ENACT LAWS LIKE THE UK HAS. HUNTING RIFFLES ARE ALLOWED BUT WITH A PERMIT. NO MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS ALLOWED. NO HANDGUNS ALLOWED.
Uh and that might be part of the reason for the 2d, so we don't have to live under that type of draconian rule ever again. we only see what the media wants us to see from over there. I am sure there are plenty of terrible crimes that happen with knives and such.The criminal element did not just evaporate when guns were outlawed.
This is a honest question, no harm intended.
You say we should depend on police for protection.
If you are in a situation at home, you fall, or a robber knocks down your door, or a kitchen fire, what is the average response time for emergency personnel or law enforcement to arrive to be of any help?
So many of us do not live with in walking distance of a fire station,a ambulance bay , or a police station.
Here, The average response time now for a deputy,a LONE deputy mind you at 2 am is about 18 minutes. Sometimes 8 to 9 minutes during daylight hours.
Fire response,again,enough personal for a interior attack or rescue operation, 12 minutes at the very best,that is with 2 paid folks already within 200 feet of the truck during daylight hours.
You can't expect the population to rely on these resources as the number of robberys,assaults and so forth would sky rocket. The crooks would KNOW the law abiding citizens would be unarmed and unable to do anything but Run. Is RUN the only thing democrats know to do? RUN from problems? Run From Danger? Run from responsibility? Sheesh.
"You expect handicapped people to depend on a cell phone for protection if they are alone at home or on the street.
YES, I DO. DO YOU EXPECT A HANDICAPPED PERSON TO CARRY IN THEIR WEEL CHAIR OR CRUTCHES?"
What are you smoking? All handicapped people are not in wheel chairs or on crutches.They may not be able to run,they may just have 1 good arm and can't swing, you assume help is just around the corner when in reality it can be 20 miles up the road.And no you can't hold out until help gets there.What are you going to do with a crook holding a gun on you ,threatening you? Sing 100 bottles of beer on the wall?
Sheesh,you must lead a charmed life.
People in the UK have little to no protection and their "cops" carry a stick and a radio. Not much help
